The First Play: Forgotten Plains

Father sun had resigned

Closing his eyes in lady Night’s veil

Embroidered in countless stars

Gently covering the azure throne

Slim figure in dark robe

Trod upon the desolated lands

What would he seek therein?

Within the endless dark

Were lukewarm fire

Alone, the final frontier against the blackness

A figure sat upon the vicinity

Fiddling his string

Reciting nostalgic tunes

Then…he spoke

“Good evening traveler

What faraway land did thee came from?

Wouldst it the land of red sands

Or the great walls of Holy Land?

Where ever thee came from

For whatever reasons  thee travel to

This God forsaken land

T’is intrigued our curiosity

O’ adventurer, we are Ettram Llium

The travelling bard, at thine service

May we quench our curiosity?

Be tell us thine noble quest”

Thus the figure in black spoke:

“O’ muse of the past

I am here by the order of my King

To this forgotten plain

Called ‘Oblivion’

O’ muse of the present

I am condemned to this fate

As per order of my beloved King

No grudge I keep

O’ muse, let me tell you my story

Should you find it proper

Then sing of me

So I won’t fall into oblivion

….which is…worse than fiery hell itself

My tale began in joy

I am of noble line, as you might guessed

Fated to guard the royal family

The moment I saw my future king

I knew he would surpass even the great hero himself

Therefore I pledged my life and soul solely for His Majesty

Sorrow followed suit

Bad omen on the coronation day

Rumors spread, illness and locusts stroke

They stroke harder than the strongest enemies

Even flourishing kingdom overseas succumbed

What omen you asked?

T’was raven hovering over the castle

Not one, but many, in wait of flesh and blood

The whole kingdom panicked

The King was accused for doing the Unforgivable

That was, of course, nonsense

Questioning our friendship, the old coots

Unable to bear it any longer

I parted ways with my beloved King

Let no one bear the suffering but me

Here I am, on the forgotten plains

Seeking place to die”

It was silent then

Only the sounds of sparks

From the dancing fire

The bard strummed his string

And said:

“Alas my friend, it seems we shall be alone again ‘morrow

For thou shalt continue to walk toward Oblivion

Where forsaken and forgotten ones go

Yes indeed, tis worse than  fiery hell itself

Be brave my friend,

For we shall accompany you tonight

With story of old

Though alas, t’is not less tragic than thine

T’is the only fitting story for those entering Oblivion…”

poetry, oblivion
